Role
Who you are
- We’re looking for someone who is technically strong, curious, and comfortable working across analytics, policy, and operations—someone who can write SQL in the morning, investigate a risk event at lunch, and draft a new control policy by the afternoon
- 3–5 years of experience in risk analytics, fintech risk, or a related data-driven risk role
- Advanced SQL skills (required) and experience querying large, complex data sets
- Python or another scripting language for data analysis (preferred)
- Experience supporting front-line risk operations or investigations (1LOD)
- Ability to design and implement risk frameworks or decisioning models
- Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills with a bias toward action
- Excellent communicator—able to simplify complex analytics for cross-functional teams
- Organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment
- Experience in ACH payments, high-growth fintech, broker-dealer, or trading platform environments is a plus
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Risk Analytics Lead to join our Risk team and strengthen our decision-making foundation across products and operations
- In this role, you’ll bridge data analytics, policy design, and front-line investigations—helping shape how Public measures and manages risk across equities, options, bonds, treasuries, crypto, and etc
- You’ll run analyses using SQL or Python to identify patterns, develop forecasting models, and design new risk frameworks
- You’ll also roll up your sleeves to support 1st-line investigations and operational risk escalations, providing fast, data-driven decisions that balance growth and protection
- This role is onsite based out of our New York City office
- Design and implement scalable risk frameworks and policies for money movement, trading, operations, and new products
- Run hands-on analytics using SQL or Python to assess exposures, forecast risk trends, and evaluate policy impact
- Partner with stakeholders across Risk Ops, CX, Data, Product, and Engineering to investigate and resolve 1LOD risk incidents
- Build dashboards and metrics to monitor key risk indicators and emerging threats across asset classes
- Analyze customer behavior, transaction patterns, and platform data to detect anomalies and take quick action to prevent potential losses
- Lead deep-dive investigations, document findings, and propose remediation and control improvements
- Translate analytics and investigations into actionable insights and risk recommendations for senior leadership
- Collaborate with data, product and engineering teams to improve data models and pipelines supporting risk reporting
Our take
The stock market can be a confusing place unless you work on Wall Street, making investing a pretty daunting experience. Public.com brings accessibility to the stock market, helping people invest regardless of experience or available funds.
This is done through a commission-free platform that allows users to own fractional shares of stocks, funds, and crypto, making it easier to get started. It has created a safe space for a broad audience, with educational and social features that help users become more familiar with investing.
The concept of making investments more accessible is not unique to Public.com, but a key draw that it has over the competition is its focus on creating a social community. It has also been quick to innovate, such as with the launch of AI-powered investment research tool Alpha. And it continues to raised funding to support product development and solidify its place in the industry.
